Hey y'all! I'm happy to report that I did *everything* on yesterday's to-do list. I don't have a written list for today, but I'm still trucking along. This morning I worked on unmounting about a dozen stamp sets; have to do that when the kiddo is in daycare since it involves a hot knife. It took me THREE HOURS!!! I've got nine more sets to do in the next batch (or I will have them to do whenever they arrive in my mailbox) and three of those are alphabet sets, so yeah that's going to take a while.
In the meantime, I have a card to share today. I hate making sympathy cards.
My friend's dog died earlier this week (not entirely unexpected, as she was quite aged for a canine) so I made this for my friend. I started with this week's Freshly Made Sketch, rotated 90 degrees to the right:
As luck would have it, Color Throwdown had this excellent muted palette this week, which I think is perfect for a sympathy card:
I used Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate, and Seaside Spray and I just realized I left off white! Oops. Coincidentally I used this same color combination on another sympathy card a couple of years ago.
Okay, looking at that inspo picture makes me realize I need another cuppa tea :) Cheers, y'all!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Pampered Pets
Ink: Misty Moonlight
Paper: Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate, Pattern Party DSP, Smoky Slate DSP
